Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."
Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.
Ethical violation as POLICY.

At least 20 people lost their lives over the weekend as storms ravaged the country.
Meanwhile, Trump & DOGE have terminated 1,000 employees from NOAA — the agency that provides severe weather forecasting and warnings.
Make no mistake: these cuts put people's lives in danger.

Our trade policies should benefit American workers, not just corporate CEOs.
That includes targeted tariffs to stop corporations from outsourcing American jobs & factories.
We do not need a blanket, arbitrary sales tax that will raise prices on products that Americans need.

Read this declaration. A professional soccer player has been imprisoned in El Salvador and forced into hard labor on the basis of soccer-related tattoos and a single, innocent hand gesture.
This is why the administration is withholding due process. It knows its targets could prove their innocence.
